The Canadiens are one of the hockey teams known as the "Original Six", the teams of the NHL, before the 1967 expansion. They have won more Stanley Cups (24, the first in 1916, before the NHL existed) than any other NHL team; the Toronto Maple Leafs have the second most with a total of 13. On a percentage basis, as of 2006, this makes them the third most historically successful major pro sports team in North America, having won 25% of all NHL/NHA Stanley Cup championships. Only the Boston Celtics of the NBA (26.2 %) and the New York Yankees of MLB (25.5%) have higher success rates.
